no need to separate like fancies. I've been breeding plakats for along time and never have to deal with any of them nipping eachother like crazy or big fights. Aslong as I keep the environment consistent, they're fine and healthy. Maybe even a lot healthier than most fancy bred fish that most breeders just over feed their juvies push their growth with too much water change that alters their slime coat.

-oh yes XD the planted tank was just started a month ago with just one water wisteria and 2 cabombas =] and a bit of java moss so i guess itll fill up soon : D
